The Ten Directions of Heaven and Earth

"Master..."

Ao Ye's whole body was black and evil, his eyes were blood red, he was almost demonized. Even the Heaven Sealing Halberd in his hand was constantly leaking out black evil energy. This was his demonic energy. Back then in the Merciless Sea, When Empress Tianyao rescued him, she thought that one day, even though three thousand years had passed, this evil spirit could never be removed.

"Empress Tianyao..."

When Fairy Ten Thousand Poisons saw Empress Tianyao coming out of Purple Mountain at this time, she was trembling with fear. She knew that this time, Tianyao would not let her go no matter what. After all, she had killed so many disciples of Tianqin Palace. .

But at this moment, Empress Tianyao had no time to care about her. Her eyes only fell on Ao Ye, who was filled with evil spirits. She walked towards her step by step, "Ao Ye, to this day, you still don't know how to repent..."

"Repent? Hahahaha..."

Ao Ye raised his head and laughed, his voice low, "What's wrong with me...isn't it all for cultivation? Natural selection, the weak and the strong, isn't it the law of the Nine Heavens!"

"Shut up, evildoer!"

Empress Tianyao's face was as frosty as she walked towards her step by step, "You killed your two junior sisters and your two junior brothers. Even now, you still don't know your fault..."

"Wrong? You immortals take demon elixirs from demons and refine them into elixirs alive to provide you with immortality and increase your cultivation. You...what about you?"

Ao Yeji pointed at the immortals on Purple Mountain and sneered, "You kill demons, take the demon pills, put them in the furnace and refine them into elixirs... That's right. I just kill a few people and refine them into elixirs, so what? Why...am I not doing the same thing as you?"

"evil creature……"

Empress Tianyao condensed her palms, and a purple energy condensed. The aura on her body suddenly strengthened a lot. Ao Ye sneered and said, "Master, are you finally going to kill me? I am a demon and you are an immortal... Okay, Today you and I have severed all ties between master and disciple, so let’s live and die here..."

As he finished speaking, he ignited the demonic blood all over his body, and a layer of black demonic fire burned all over his body. This was him burning his own demonic essence.

"Ao Ye!" Fairy Ten Thousand Poisons was also shocked. He was burning his own demonic energy to fight for his life, but he was burning his own demonic energy and was no match for Tianyao. What would he do if he died?

"ah--"

Ao Ye burned the demon blood all over his body and launched the strongest attack on Empress Tianyao. In an instant, dark clouds gathered, thunder rolled, and the immortals on the Purple Mountain retreated in fear. He was going to kill his master!

"Ao Ye..."

Empress Tianyao finally let out a sigh, but this sigh was full of helplessness and pain. Finally, she condensed her two fingers, and a ray of purple light gathered on her body. At this moment, all the immortals felt the aura of a strong person, Even if Ao Ye burns demon essence again, how can he be his master's opponent? I will definitely die today...

"Well……"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Empress Tianyao's face suddenly turned pale. It was the Blood-Hand Tathagata's immeasurable bloody hands that caused backlash and restraint on her. If she forced herself to use her cultivation, she would inevitably suffer an injury.

In the distance, when Fairy Ten Thousand Poisons saw her injury, she immediately turned from worry to joy, as if she had grabbed the last life-saving rope, "Ao Ye! Take advantage of now...kill her!"

"ah--"

Ao Ye's eyes were blood red. He didn't care about the condition of Empress Tianyao's injuries, and directly struck down with a halberd. Even if this halberd could not kill Empress Tianyao, it would still severely injure her.

"elder sister……"

Xiao Chen could no longer care about so much. Ling Xian stepped forward and flew over in an instant. The Emperor Gu Sword also appeared in his hand. At this moment, the sky was filled with black clouds, and Emperor Gu's evil aura suddenly enveloped the surrounding area. inside.

"laugh--"

Xiao Chen raised his sword and slashed towards Ao Ye. Immediately, blood spattered. Ao Ye's dragon head was cut off directly by Di Gu's sword. The huge dragon body fell to the bottom of Purple Mountain with blood splattering.

"Rumble--"

Thunder clouds were still rolling above the nine heavens. Emperor Gu's evil aura made all the immortals turn pale with fright. That sword was... Di Gu's evil aura was hard to compare with.

Outside the Nine Heavens, Di Gu is no longer restricted. The ferocity of the ancient most ferocious sword can be imagined. If he is beheaded by Di Gu's sword, even a strong man in the Tao realm cannot hope to be resurrected.

Ao Ye is dead.

Just now, he was only focused on Empress Tianyao, and did not guard against Xiao Chen who was attacking from the side, so he was beheaded by Emperor Gu Jian.

"Ao Ye..."

Seeing Ao Ye's head and body separated and falling into the sea of ​​clouds below, Empress Tianyao's body trembled, her eyes filled with desolation. In her mind, one scene after another, she was still Ao Ye when she was a child.

"Sister...sister, where is this place?"

"It's Tianqin Palace."

"Do you want to refine me into an elixir..."

"No...from today on, I am your master."

"Master... where are my parents? Are they... dead..."

"Ao Ye..."

Empress Tianyao looked at Ao Ye's body falling into the sea of ​​clouds, and closed her eyes deeply. She felt pain in her heart, as if she had been stabbed by a sword, one after another.

Xiao Chen put Di Gu away and immediately flew to her side. "Sister, how are you?"

"fine……"

Empress Tianyao opened her eyes, with tears clearly shining in her eyes, but she did not blame Xiao Chen, nor did she blame Xiao Chen for decapitating Ao Ye with his sword just now.

"Ao Ye..."

Seeing Ao Ye being beheaded in the distance, Fairy Ten Thousand Poisons was frightened to pieces. She wanted to run away, but a red light shrouded her, and it was Xiao Meng'er who used the "Wind and Fire Ruyi Shroud".

"ah!"

Fairy Ten Thousand Poisons was caught off guard and was enveloped by the wind and fire. She suddenly felt that every inch of her skin was burned and cracked. She screamed in pain, "Empress Tianyao, I know I was wrong... please let me go! Back then, when you were my master Your Majesty, please spare my life..."

"Spare your life...what do you think?"

Empress Tianyao's face was filled with frost. The Ten Thousand Poison Fairy bewitched Ao Ye and even used many of her disciples from the Tianqin Palace to refine the poison. How could she spare the life of this enchantress? With a swipe of his finger, a ray of purple light flew over, knocking the Ten Thousand Poison Fairy back to its original shape and putting it into the Wind and Fire Ruyi Cover.

The entire Ziji Immortal Realm finally returned to its former peace. The immortals on Purple Mountain were silent. Ao Ye was dead, but the pain in Empress Tianyao's heart was something that no one could understand.

"Xiao Yao'er, how are you injured?"

At this time, Zi Ji Immortal came to the side of Empress Tianyao. Empress Tianyao turned to him and said, "Thank you Immortal for the elixir, Yao'er is fine for the time being."

"Then do you want to take some more time?"

"No, I've been bothering you for a long time. I have to go back to Tianqin Palace today to have a look..."

Next, Empress Tianyao will return to Zixian Xuanpu, and naturally she will take Xiao Chen and the others with her. This time the crisis in Tianqin Palace has been resolved, but there are still many things to do next.

"Yichen, is this your junior sister?"

"Um……"

"Junior Qianyu Nishang."

"Hmm... Qianyu Nishang."

…

After a while, the four returned to Tianqin Palace. Part of the place was destroyed, but the spiritual energy did not weaken. As for those monsters, it was heard that Ao Ye and Fairy Wandu had fled long ago. The soul Gu on everyone in Tianqin Palace, With the death of Wandu Fairy and Ao Ye, they were automatically lifted.

Today, Empress Tianyao is back in charge of the Tianqin Palace, and everything is waiting for improvement. Several of her disciples are gone. Xiaoqing and Yan'er, I don't know where they are now. If they are still alive, they will definitely come back after hearing the news.

In the next month, Empress Tianyao not only nursed her own injuries, but also healed Qianyu Nishang's injuries. When she heard that Qianyu Nishang had been struck by the "Seven Steps of Heart-Destroying Palm" from Sin Sinking, Empress Tianyao was a little surprised at first that she could still fight out of the Destruction Domain, but when she thought about her Three Flowers Gathering, there was nothing surprising. Her Three Flowers Gathering was just the beginning. Mahayana, that’s what’s awesome.

On this day, Xiao Chen was practicing in the Immortal Pavilion. Among the three of him, Xiao Meng'er and Qian Yu Nishang, the empress was of course the best to him and gave him the place where the fairy spirit was the strongest.

After this period of time, his cultivation has naturally broken through. Outside the ninth level of heaven, it is much easier to break through than in the human world. What's more, the fairy spirit energy here is so abundant. In the fourth level of Taiqing, the inner energy is indeed better than before. It's a lot fuller, but for the environment he's in now, unless it's the eighth or ninth level, it doesn't mean much.

If you really want to become stronger, you can only set foot in the realm beyond the square, but others have spent thousands of years unable to get a glimpse of the realm beyond the square. No matter how talented he is, he can't freeze three feet in a day.

"You keep saying 'sister' all the time, but it's really not for nothing. Empress Tianyao actually gave you such a good place."

When Xiao Chen was practicing that day, Qian Yu Nishang suddenly came from outside. Xiao Chen still closed his eyes and said, "If junior sister wants it, I can give you this place."

"A gentleman doesn't take away people's love, so let's forget it."

Qian Yu Nishang had already walked up to him. Xiao Chen finally opened his eyes. Seeing her leisurely look, he asked, "Don't you need to practice? Or should you say it will be fine once the injury is healed."

"Aren't you tired of practicing all day long at Xuanqing Mountain and then having to practice all day long when you come to the Nine Heavens? Otherwise, let's go practice swordplay."

At this moment, the two of them seemed to have returned to their old days at Zixiao Peak. Practicing was boring, so they went outside to practice sword practice together.

"I already have the last form of Qiu Shui Sword, what else is there to practice?"

"Well... Senior Brother is talking about Qiu Shui Qingwu."

Thinking back to those days, the last move that Xiao Chen realized was the "Autumn Water Ruthless". This sword was extremely powerful. If two people used it together, it would be even more powerful, making it difficult for gods and immortals to defeat it.

"Brother, let's go. I'll take you outside. Stop practicing and come with me."

"Where to go?"

Before Xiao Chen could react, he was forcefully pulled out by Qianyu Nishang. He thought that she had become more and more lively recently, more and more like the junior sister Nishang before, but he always felt that it was not that simple here.

The purpose of his coming to the Nine Heavens was to form a heaven-defying formation, but he knew that with his current cultivation level, it was impossible to set foot in such a dangerous place. For a long time to come, he could only practice here. As for Xiao Meng'er, he felt that Xiao Meng'er must have many things that she didn't tell him. It was impossible for her to come to the Nine Heavens just to help him find the Heaven-defying Formation.

Xiao Menger and him both have obvious goals, so... where is Qian Yu Nishang?

At this moment, Xiao Chen was walking behind, and Qian Yu Nishang was holding his hand in front, humming a little tune all the way. The more this happened, the more Xiao Chen felt that she was hiding something from him, and everything in front of him was just a cover-up for her.

"Qianyu Nishang, is there something you haven't told me?"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen stopped, Qian Yu Nishang also stopped, turned her head slightly, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, "Why did you suddenly call me my name again?"

That night, the two finally untied the forty-year-old knot. Xiao Chen didn't want to go back to that cold and cold time again, so he said, "It's nothing... Junior sister, let's go. Where did you take me just now?" ?”

"snort!"

Qianyu Nishang hummed softly, as if she "forgave" him, and held his hand again, smiling and saying, "You will know after you come with me, let's go."

Xiao Chen thought to himself, is there anything he doesn't know about in Tianqin Palace?

…

Falling flowers are falling in the courtyard, and Xiao Meng'er is concentrating on practicing under the tree. It has been several days, and she has not left even a step. Over the past month, among the three of them, she is perhaps the most "hardworking" one, Qian Yu Nichang not to mention. He was free and undisciplined all day long. Not only did he not practice well, he also kept disturbing Xiao Chen.

At this time, she finally opened her eyes. Her shoulders, hair, and legs were all covered with petals. As she breathed, these petals flew away from her body.

"Well... finally a breakthrough."

Xiao Meng'er's Xuan Gong has broken through another level. Compared with the breakthrough in cultivation, she now hopes to have a breakthrough in the Xiao family's ancient Xuan Kung, because no matter how she breaks through in cultivation, she will not be able to step into the realm outside the square, but Xiao The Taikoo Xuan Gong is different. Every time she breaks through a level, the power increases exponentially, and it can even drive her cultivation level to break through. Otherwise, how can she be called the "Heaven-defying Xuan Gong"?

This time, she did everything possible to come to the Nine Heavens. She did have her purpose, and this purpose was different from Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen just wanted to save one person, but what she wanted to save was the entire Xiao family.

The crisis of the Xiao family has never been a matter of Xiao Hen. For thousands of years, no one has ever found a solution. It is the ancestral spirit vein of the Xiao family.

The Xiao family's ancestral spirit vein is about to dry up. Once it dries up, thousands of Xiao family members will face more than just "losing their homeland."

This time when she came to Jiuzhong Tianwai, she wanted to find something. She had the blood of the ancient Xiao family, but it was just blood. Although the blood was powerful, it could not make her step into the realm of Fangwai at once. She wanted to find something. It is the "bloodline" left by a great ancestor of the Xiao family.

Not everyone in the Xiao family knew about this matter. Only the clan leaders of the past generations knew about it. Obviously Xiao Xuanfeng had told her about this matter a long time ago. In the ancient times, the great ancestor of the Xiao family was one of the strongest people in the world. The real ancient strong men, not the so-called "strong men" nowadays.

The great ancestor of the Xiao family must have left a drop of "blood" in the world, but where it is, it cannot be in the human world, then there is only the ninth level of heaven that is not restricted by heaven and earth.

The only person who can fuse that drop of "blood essence" is someone with the ancient bloodline of the Xiao family, and she is such a person. She will definitely be able to fuse the bloodline of that great ancestor, but only if she can find it.

There is no doubt that when she fuses that drop of blood, she can directly step into the realm of the outside world. These gods and immortal kings are nothing more than ants in her eyes...

Of course, she is not a murderer. She stepped into Fangwai Realm not to kill people for revenge, but to condense the Fangxuan Realm and move the entire Xiao family into it. In this way, even if the ancestral spirit veins Even if she disappears, she can still maintain it for a long time with her own external strength, so that the life force of the Xiao family will not diminish.

"Meng'er, are you still practicing?"

Just when Xiao Meng'er was concentrating on thinking, the voice of Empress Tianyao suddenly sounded outside the yard. Xiao Meng'er immediately came back to her senses and said to the outside, "Well...Sister Tianyao, are you feeling better from your injury?"

"It's okay for now."

Empress Tianyao walked in with a plate of fruit in her hand. During this time, Xiao Chen and Xiao Meng'er both called her sister, but Qian Yu Nishang still called her empress.

Empress Tianyao saw Xiao Meng'er's hard work in burning the ointment and following the sundial, and smiled softly, "Okay, stop practicing, come here and have something to eat." After saying that, she put the fruit on the stone table.

"Okay...thank you sister."

Xiao Meng'er stood up and walked over. Empress Tianyao looked at her as if she was looking at Hong'er before. When she thought of Hong'er, she couldn't help but feel sad.

"During this period, I heard that you have been practicing here and have not gone out."

Of course Empress Tianyao could tell that among the three of them, Xiao Meng'er was the one who worked the hardest. She came to Tianqin Palace and practiced every day, even harder than Yichen.

"Mmm...so sweet."

Xiao Meng'er nodded while eating the fruit. Empress Tianyao could obviously see that Xiao Meng'er was full of thoughts just now. There must be something going on when she came to the Nine Heavens. Among the three of them, the one she couldn't understand the most was. That junior sister Yichen.

"Meng'er, tell sister, why did you come to Jiuzhongtianwai?"

"Um?"

When Xiao Meng'er saw her suddenly asking this question, she was a little confused. With the fruit still wrapped in her mouth, she said vaguely, "Sister, what's wrong?"

"It's okay. I'm just asking casually. Isn't it convenient for me to tell you?"

"Hmm...not really."

Xiao Meng'er slowly swallowed the fruit and gradually frowned. In fact, there was no harm in telling Empress Tianyao that she was not familiar with the Nine Heavens. Where could she find the Xiao family's ancestor in such a big place? The bloodline left behind? Ask Sister Tianyao, maybe you can ask something else.

Empress Tianyao saw her appearance at this time and said, "I can feel that the blood in you is from the ancient Xiao clan, um... that ancient clan in the legend that fought against the sky."

Xiao Meng'er was startled, "Does sister also know about the ancient Xiao clan?"

"certainly."

Empress Tianyao smiled softly, how could she not know? Xiao Meng'er slowly opened her eyebrows, and finally nodded and said, "Yes, I came to Jiuzhongtianwai just to find...a drop left by a Xiao family ancestor. Blood."

"The blood of Taizu?"

This time, Empress Tianyao was a little surprised, but she could imagine that this was not just an ordinary drop of blood, but a drop of blood essence condensed by the Taizu with his own cultivation. If this was true, then The great ancestor of the Xiao family must be one of the strongest people of his era, or perhaps none.

Xiao Meng'er said, "The reason why we need to find this drop of blood is because the Xiao family's ancestral spirit veins are about to disappear. The reason why the Xiao family has been able to thrive in these years is all because of the ancestral spirit veins, but now... Therefore, I must find that drop of blood." At this point, she raised her head and looked at Empress Tianyao.

The empress said, "If your spiritual veins are exhausted, can't you change places?"

Xiao Meng'er knew she would ask this question and shook her head, "Sister, I don't understand. It's not as simple as moving as I thought... Once the ancestral spirit vein disappears, everyone in the Xiao family will slowly die..."

"What?"

Hearing this, Empress Tianyao was even more surprised. Is there such a strange thing? Xiao Meng'er looked at her and said, "Probably...it's like a curse. Sister can understand it this way."

"So, we can only find the drop of blood condensed by the Xiao family's Taizu?"

"Um."

Xiao Meng'er nodded. Finding the bloodline left by the great ancestor of the Xiao family was not to rejuvenate the ancestral spirit veins, but to allow her to step into the realm beyond, inject new vitality into the Xiao family, and let Xiao The family can maintain its longevity for at least thousands of years. As for thousands of years later, if she is still there, she will continue to support it. When the power of her bloodline is exhausted, a new bloodline will definitely appear in the Xiao family. That's it. Generation after generation...continues.

"I see."

Empress Tianyao nodded. This time she finally understood why she practiced so hard. What she did wholeheartedly was not for her own immortality, but for the continuation of the entire Xiao family. At such a young age, she had such a high realm in her heart. It is very rare, it has already surpassed those so-called immortal kings and gods.

"Sister...do you know some places?"

Xiao Meng'er asked her, obviously asking her where the ancestor of the Xiao family was most likely to put his bloodline.

Empress Tianyao said, "If what you just said is true, there really is such an ancestor of the Xiao family who condensed a drop of heaven-defying essence and blood with his own cultivation and preserved it, then Most likely, I do know one."

"Where?"

The expression on Xiao Meng'er's face gradually became serious. Empress Tianyao looked at her and said slowly, "Don't worry, sister, you have to know that where we are now, you and Yichen have been there before. Yes, all the places I saw are just the tip of the iceberg for the entire Nine Layers of Heaven."

"Um?"

Xiao Meng'er listened to her continue.

Empress Tianyao continued, "Beyond the Nine Heavens, there are many dangerous places. Among them are the thirteen ancient evil places. Each place is a place where gods are buried. There is an ancient evil tomb inside. There are thirteen ancient evil places in total. Evil tomb. In each evil tomb, there is a tomb owner, all of them are ancient and powerful men who have passed away... I can't imagine how powerful they are. Even after they die, no one dares to approach. "

"Is there such a place?"

Xiao Meng'er's expression was condensed, a little unbelievable. Empress Tianyao nodded and continued, "Thirteen ancient evil places, thirteen ancient evil tombs... Only people like Master dare to set foot in such dangerous places. Even now, I dare not easily set foot in these thirteen evil places, let alone enter those thirteen ancient evil tombs..."

"in this case……"

Xiao Meng'er slowly lowered her head. She had already understood the words of Empress Tianyao. The owners of those thirteen ancient evil places and thirteen ancient evil tombs were all powerful men from ancient times who defied the heavens. They Maybe they are not from the same era, but they must be the strongest people in their respective eras.

If so, the great ancestor of the Xiao family back then... he might also be one of the thirteen powerful men who defy the heavens.

"What are the thirteen evil places, the thirteen evil tombs...what are you talking about?"

At this moment, Xiao Chen's voice suddenly sounded outside. It was Xiao Chen and Qian Yu Nishang who came to Xiao Menger.
